Empowering The Masses - Organization Social Media Policies Empowering The Masses Social Media Policy for Volunteers Most people now have some form of social media account, whether it is on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. We use social media across all our work at Empowering the Masses. We use it to raise awareness, to ask people to support our events and many other things. It is a great way of reaching lots of people and making sure they know about our work. We encourage the responsible use of social media and this policy is to set out what we expect from our volunteers when using social media. It is important to remember that we are all ambassadors for the charity and that social media is never private. This policy aims to: Give clear guidelines on what you can say about the charity Comply with legislation and protect you as a volunteer Help you draw a line between your private lives and your volunteering work Protect the charity against liability for the actions of volunteers Be clear about sensitive issues such as monitoring and explain how problems with inappropriate use will be addressed. Policy Statement We recognize that the internet provides unique opportunities to participate in interactive discussions and share information on particular topics relevant to the work of Empowering the Masses, using a wide variety of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This policy aims to protect anyone volunteering with us in any role and to encourage you to take responsibility for what you write, exercise good judgement and common sense. Who is covered by the policy? This policy covers volunteers. There is a separate policy for paid staff and consultants. Purpose of the policy This policy deals with the use of all forms of social media – including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram It applies to the use of social media for volunteering and personal purposes whether while volunteering or otherwise.

Volunteers must not post disparaging or defamatory statements about: Empowering the Masses ETM staff, our clients, volunteers, or people affected by PSP & CBD past or present Suppliers Other affiliates and stakeholders. Volunteers should also avoid social communications that might be misconstrued in a way that could damage our business reputation, even indirectly. You are personally responsible for what you communicate on social media – as part of your role or on personal sites.
